Caliper weeping 09GS, experiences?

[Popell]

So on two occasions, I’ve spied some fluid sitting on the wheel rim when bike was in garage, after bike been unused for a while. I think I’ve narrowed it down to a weep from lh Caliper. After the first time I unbolted it for inspection, nothing obvious so cleaned it, pushed pistons in and out a few times then reinstalled.
Happened again today and the damp bit seems to emanate from the joint of the two halves.
Not managed to find any details of the seal(o ring?j between the halves and actually seen a couple of mentions NOT to separate them!
Questions:- any one had this?, what solution?
Is tightening the bolts likely to help at all?
Does anyone have a redundant left hand Caliper lying around/on a shelf somewhere?
I understand Motoworks sell them but not sure if they have any stock.

Off the Spain in a few weeks so would like to sort it if possible

Cheers

I'd just get another one, especially since you're off soon. You'll want if fixed and off the list. Sherlock's, Motorworks, eBay. You can then take the original assist at your leisure and fix.

Where are you ? I have a spare you can borrow if needed. I'm in Herts.

That’s awfully kind Sir Seahorse. However as I’m in Yorkshire I’ll try to pick one up from Motorworks if they have one, I’ll call them tomorrow..
